To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY F; JUERGENS, a citizen of the United States,and residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of NewYork, have invented certain new 'anduseful Improvements inA Ear-Pendants, of which the following 'is a specication, such ,as will enablethoseskilled in .theart to which it appertainsqto make and use the same.p d

This invention relates to ear pendants or ornaments, andtheobjectthereof is to 4promay be securely connected with the lobe of theear without piercing saidV ear. The inventionis fully disclosed vin thefoly .panying drawlng forms a part, in which the separate parts of myimprovementare de signated by suitable reference characters m each ofthe views, and in which.:-

FigureV 1 is a side'view of my improved ear pendant and indicating themethod of k its use ;-Fig. '2 a frontv view vof that part of thependant, which is secured to the ear, de'- tached;-'Fig. 3 a sectionlofsaid part on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1, and ;-Fig. 4: a view simi.

` lar to Fig. l, but showing a modification.

The invention described and claimed-herein consists primarily in thatpart of the' ear pendant which is connected with the ear,

and in `the-practice of my invention, as

" shown in Figs. 1 to 3 inclusive, I provide an ear attaching part forear pendants, comprising ajloop a which opens upwardly and which iscomposed of a comparatively rigid y front side armv a2 and a flat thinresilient v back side arm a".

The front side arm a? is curved backwardly, upwardly, outwardly andydownwardl to form a' hanger at, rand the resilient bacli arm a3 iscurved inwardly, upwardly and outwardly and extends above the front sidearm a2, and is provided with a\backwardly` directed. extension. a5.

ndo

Normally, when the device is lnot con-l nected with the-ear, asindicated at b, 1, the back spring arm as is closely adjacent to theback bow a of the front arm a2 and thin andresilient and will operate soas'to holdthe device .on the ear, andthe central part of VSaid arm,where it bears on the back of the ear, is widened, as shownat a7, and

` front arm a2 is also preferably provided with a central longitudinalopening a8 which 'facilitates the operation of said arm in holding thedevice on the ear.

The hanger or depending. part a4 ofthe is .in 4the plane of said arm,and also in the plane `of theback arm a3, and the' lower end portionthereof is preferably iattened, las shown at a9, and is pro-y vided witha transverse perforation or apertureby means of which the pendant properig lsuspended therefrom.

lIn the form of `construction shown, the peldant c is composed of abottom part c? an shown at cand the top part e3 is connected with thehanger a4 by a link 0.5, but my invention is not limited to theparticular form of the pendant, and any suitable device of this classmaybe em loyed, my inventionV consisting, as hereinbefore stated, in theconstruction of the ear attaching part a.

In Fig. 4 of the accompanying drawing, I haveshown a modification inwhich the forwardly and downwardly curved suspender or hanger a* isomitted, the front arm a2 being terminated at its upper end by anoutwardly curved part al", and in this form of construction, the pendantmember lis loosely suspended from the bottom part of the front arm a2 bya link c5.

VHaving fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is g- 1. In an ear pendant, an ear attachingImember comprising a bottom loop portion which opens upwardly, said loop-portion being provided with a front arm which is curved backwardly andthen forwardly and provided with a loosely suspended pendant, and with athin resilient back arm which is curved forwardly andthen backwardly andyextends above thefront arm, and the forward curve of which is oppositethe backward curve ofI said front arm, whereby said arms are adapted tograsp and hold the lobe of the ear. y

2. In an earV pendant, an ear attaching member comprising a bottom loop.portion which opens upwardly, said loop portion comprising a4 ront armwhich is curved backwardly and then forwardly and pro-v vided with adepending part having a a top part 03 loosely connected, as

loosely suspended pendant, and with a thin presence of the subscribingWitnesses this resilient back armwhich is curved for-v 3rd day ofNovember, 1913. Wardly and then baokwardly whereby said arms are adaptedto grasp and hold the lobe HENRY F' JUERGENS* 5 ofthe ear. Witnesses: Yi In'testmony that I claim the foregoing S.
